Distances vary from 4-13 kilometres, but all the walks have shorter options available whilst some can be extended by incorporating elements of overlapping or nearby routes contained in the companion volume New Forest Walks - a time traveller’s guide.
Devised to take visitors through areas particularly rich in wildlife, the walks can be enjoyed throughout the year, although they are nominally associated with months chosen to coincide with optimum wildlife presence.
